An extremely disturbing Facebook LIVE video appears to show a young lady being drugged and raped on the dancefloor of an Atlanta nightclub.
Jasmine Eiland was at Opera nightclub celebrating her birthday on Saturday (January 19).
She went LIVE on Facebook several times throughout the night and you can clearly see a bearded man wearing a black shirt and skullcap dancing with her and playing her very close in the video.
At one point, he hands her a drink that appears to have a pill in the bottom of the cup.
It wasn’t long before Jasmine, who had been rapping along to her favorite songs and dancing all night, began slurring her words and stating how the drinks had her “f–ked up.”
Shortly thereafter, the video shows the man [allegedly] raping Jasmine, who is nearly incapacitated, in the middle of the dancefloor as she screams, yells “STOP,” and begs “Help Me” – only to be drowned out by the blaring music in the nightclub.
